About
The WOO Sports app allows you to connect your Garmin Watch to your WOO 4.0 and WOO 3.0 device. It will display jumps live while you are out on the water, and also show GPS metrics from the Garmin Watch. The GPS recording will be uploaded to your Garmin profile.

On compatibility, note that the firmware on older watches doesn't support the Garmin Bluetooth SDK. Garmin introduced the Bluetooth SDK (meaning apps can use Bluetooth to connect to 3rd party devices like WOO) about a year ago, all old devices (e.g. fenix 5) are not compatible with it. Only the newest ones are compatible. Unless Garmin releases a firmware update for old watches to support the Bluetooth SDK, we cannot make our app compatible with those watches.

Map view available only on watches supporting cartography (built in maps).
What's new
INSTINCT 3 (E) ALERT:
Instinct 3 and Instinct E watches now work with WOO sensor again. Garmin fixed their Bluetooth connection firmware issue in the recently released 12.21 firmware - please update your watch before installing this app. For details of the issue you can see this bug report:

Version 4.51
Added new watch models
Version 4.5
Added back support for Instinct 3 watches - watch must be updated to 12.21 Garmin firmware (or newer) for the app to work (see details above).
Version 4.36
Good news. 9.20 Garmin firmware for Instinct 3 resolved the connection issue, so we added support back. You must update the firmware on your watch to 9.20 though.
Version 4.33
Instinct 3 watches removed due to a unresolved firmware bug (see note above).
Version 4.1
Optimized Bluetooth connection.
Version 4.01
Added the Last jump display after the disconnect.
Added Venu 3 and Vivoactive 5 watches.

Added Garmin 7 Pro, Epix 2 Pro, and Approach S70 watches.

Created a workaround for a bug in Garmin's recent Alpha and Beta firmware. If you continue to have issues, uninstall and re-install the app - that should clear the settings to a safer combination.
